Every day proves Thaddeus Stevens right: there should've been big Nuremberg-style public trials of leading Confederates, accompanied by seizures of the assets of all pro-Confederate large landowners and businessmen, which should then have been distributed to freed slaves as compensation.

Like, if he died? Yeah, sure. But why would you go out of your way to create a scenario that she gets the office without really winning it?

Why would anyone want a Harris coronation that involves her never facing a contested primary?

The best argument for Biden to step down as candidate, but serve out his term is that the fascists clearly intend to try to seize power regardless of the vote count. We need a President who will resist the coup without the appearance of a self-serving attempt to stay in power for himself.

Have you–in any organization–ever seen the #2 executive claim a bit of turf that the top exec wanted for themselves?

Why are you arguing with me? Do I come across like I'm advocating for a Harris presidency?

Well, they did but they were also completely unreasonable projects like make peace in the middle east and solve the border "crisis." They should have just told her to hang out with SEIU and UNITE HERE and do whatever to help workers gain power.

I'm a labor guy, and I'm frustrated that the admin didn't give her assignments that would let her grow in her grasp of labor/working class issues. But, also, she doesn't show a lot of dexterity. For a lot of us the last word was her robotically repeating, "Learn to code" in 2020.

Not just the media, but the (left) activist base as well. It's really an underappreciated aspect how much of the agita over Biden's health and performance is actually anxiety about Kamala Harris.

Oh shit. They're scrambling to get Kamala Harris on MSNBC, like, NOW.

Not on a dime. Some changes take a generation. Lot's of "My daddy," "my grandaddy" justifications down there. Plus, robust teachers unions.

No. People had high expectations. Then the NYPD engaged in civic fascism to bring his admin down, and Cuomo undermined him at every opportunity. All of which distracted from his tangible accomplishments.

Also, stop filling in the gaps in "the story." We loved the first two movies ('77 and Empire) because they begin en media res, with only the briefest "some shit just happened" explanation before more shit happens.

She also just failed to campaign in MI and PA. You can't win votes if you don't ASK people to vote for you.

Some excitable rando is liking all of my reviews on Goodreads. It's such an inactive website that my settings are to email me about every interaction. My inbox is being flooded and I'm just wondering, "How the hell many reviews have I written?"
